Did the owners of the houses react?
Some of the young men started breaking the doors using their weapons, such as crowbars, and they kept hitting the doors.
No one could tell if there were people in the houses because apart from the shuffling noise made by the goons going and coming out, there was only the incessant hitting with crow bars, and only silence from the inside.
Given that many people were at home and their children didn't go to school, many Kenyans opined that they may have been terrified inside there, especially when they learnt that no one was coming to their rescue.
How did Kenyans react to the house vandalism?
Maxwell Alusa:
"Let us first agree we don't have peaceful demonstrations in this country first. The way those goons are engaging with the police officers and the people who are not demonstrating it's clear they are not peaceful. They should be dealt with seriously."
Kipchoge Sigei:
"They are punishing Ruto by breaking down the neighbour's house. Guys are just thieves hiding behind protests."
Josphat Kaimenyi:
"But sahisi kusema ukweli imefikia place an hustler fainting his fellow hustler in the Name of Kasongo must go . But Ruto properties are safe and secured."
Live Nationtv:
"Omera let's not break people's house ,then we call it protests this nonsense."
Faith Kiiru:
"Those are paid goons ni kazi ya government playing mind games with us wananchi but at least some of us hatudanganyiki na hizi games wanacheza."
Did goons loot Murang'a supermarket?
In a previous story, a puzzling CCTV clip showed how masked goons attempted to break into a supermarket located in Kabati, Murang’a, during the Saba Saba protests.
The incident occurred at around 10:44 am, and the suspects used various techniques to break into the supermarket for a looting spree.
Some metres away, some people were seen setting tyres ablaze as part of the chaos that erupted in part of Murang'a and its environs.
A later clip also revealed the progress of efforts by goons to break into the supermarket, as many Kenyans condemned the looting.
